More quotes by John Locke
Who are we to tell anyone what they can or can't do?
John Locke
There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.
John Locke
Who hath a prospect of the different state of perfect happiness or misery that attends all men after this life, depending on their behavior, the measures of good and evil that govern his choice are mightily changed.
John Locke
Children generally hate to be idle all the care then is that their busy humour should be constantly employed in something of use to them
John Locke
Certain subjects yield a general power that may be applied in any direction and should be studied by all.
John Locke
Men in great place are thrice servants servants of the sovereign state, servants of fame, and servants of business so as they have no freedom, neither in their persons, nor in their actions, nor in their times. It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.
John Locke
There cannot be greater rudeness than to interrupt another in the current of his discourse.
John Locke
Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.
John Locke
There cannot any one moral rule be proposed whereof a man may not justly demand a reason. Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has any right to but himself. The people cannot delegate to government the power to do anything which would be unlawful for them to do themselves.
John Locke
Knowledge being to be had only of visible and certain truth, error is not a fault of our knowledge, but a mistake of our judgment, giving assent to that which is not true.
John Locke
The power of the legislative being derived from the people by a positive voluntary grant and institution, can be no other than what that positive grant conveyed, which being only to make laws, and not to make legislators, the legislative can have no power to transfer their authority of making laws, and place it in other hands.
John Locke
A king is a mortal god on earth, unto whom the living God hath lent his own name as a great honour but withal told him, he should die like a man, lest he should be proud, and flatter himself that God hath with his name imparted unto him his nature also.
John Locke
The difference, so observable in men's understandings and parts, does not arise so much from their natural faculties, as acquired habits.
John Locke
In transgressing the law of nature, the offender declares himself to live by another rule than that of reason and common equity.
John Locke
What humanity abhors, custom reconciles and recommends to us.
John Locke
To ask at what time a man has first any ideas is to ask when he begins to perceive having ideas and perception being the same thing.
John Locke
It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of the truth.
John Locke
You shall find, that there cannot be a greater spur to the attaining what you would have the eldest learn, and know himself, than to set him upon teaching it his younger brothers and sisters.
John Locke
Understanding like the eye whilst it makes us see and perceive all things, takes no notice of itself and it requires art and pains to set it at a distance and make it its own subject.
John Locke
I have no reason to suppose that he, who would take away my Liberty, would not when he had me in his Power, take away everything else.
John Locke
